Loreena McKennitt: The Visit - The Definitive Edition [Blu-ray]

Самая популярная канадская исполнительница кельтской музыки в мире Лорина Маккеннитт (Loreena Isabel Irene McKennitt) представляет юбилейное издание к 30-ти летию альбома «The Visit» - коллекционный бокс The Visit - The Definitive Edition (4 CD + Blu-ray).

Лорина с юности увлеклась кельтской музыкой, участвовала в местных фолк-группах. В середине 80-х выпустила в Канаде первый альбом, а в 1991 году вышел альбом «The Visit», сделавший ее известной и за пределами Канады. За альбом Лорина получила главную музыкальную награду Канады — премию «Juno». В записи диска были использованы такие нехарактерные для кельтской музыкальной традиции инструменты, как тамбурин, балалайка, ситар.

В комплекте этого издания будет 32-страничный иллюстрированный буклет и часы ранее не издававшегося контента, в том числе на CD две архивные трансляции, записанные в Торонто Ontario Place и для NPR World Cafe. Диск Blu-ray Аudio включает в себя оригинальную запись альбома сделанную в формате Dolby Atmos и 5.1 surround sound, а также стереоверсию.

The Visit: The Definitive Edition package contains five discs (4 Compact Discs and 1 Blu-Ray) including five hours of previously unreleased content. In addition, The Visit is the first ever Loreena McKennitt recording to be mixed in Surround Sound inc Dolby Atmos. Available in a deluxe, limited edition, DVD-sized and book-shaped box set containing a 32-page booklet including previously unseen photographs and a four part essay, written by Loreena, discussing the recording of The Visit and other aspects of its 30-year legacy. Features 19 previously-unreleased live performances including a 1992 solo radio session, 2016 trio tour recordings and a 1992 CBC Radio in-concert broadcast. The Visit has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide including over 700,000 copies in the United States, over 300,000 in Canada, 150,000 in Germany and Brazil and over 50,000 in each of Spain, Italy, France, Turkey and BeNeLux.
